What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone-based digital assessment can measure rheumatoid arthritis activity as well as a standard doctor-performed exam. Adults with rheumatoid arthritis will complete a digital questionnaire, record guided videos of their joint movements, and then have a clinician assess their disease activity using the standard DAS28 score. The researchers will compare the two scores to see how closely they agree and whether the digital tool can detect changes over time. If successful, this could lead to more convenient remote monitoring for people with rheumatoid arthritis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Digital Disease Activity Assessment (DDAS) – a smartphone-based questionnaire and guided video recording of joint movements
What this could lead to
If the digital assessment matches the doctor's exam, it could offer a convenient way to monitor rheumatoid arthritis from home, reducing clinic visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so the digital tool may not prove accurate enough for widespread use. It also depends on patients having a compatible smartphone and internet access.
